A woman leaves her home at 9:00 a.m. and drives at a constant speed. She is 20 miles from her home at 9:30 a.m. At what time will she be 200 miles from her home?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The woman gets home at 2:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we take the average miles per hour the woman drives.

In this scenario it takes her 30 minutes to drive twenty miles (20 miles from 9:00 to 9:30)

Therefore, if we multiply 30 minutes and 20 miles by two we can conclude that it takes 1 hour to drive 40 miles.

If we divide 200 miles by 40 miles we get 5

In this problem the 5 represents the number of hours it will take for the woman to get home since 40 miles = 1 hour

If we add 5 hours to 9:00 our answer is 2:00 pm
